    .... and worse: some Guzzis use Marelli ECU, 15M or newer.

    Hold on, these units are very reliable. In normal service.

    To be fair, Marelli ECUs are infinitely more reliable than anything made
    by Bosch in recent years.

    I feel your pain. I keep my red key in a VERY safe place because I am
    paranoid about the possibility of having to replace ECU, keys etc.

    And if it had blown up because you'd connected the mains to the aerial
    socket you'd get short shrift from them.

    Sure - if you could find one. Hard enough for TVs, never mind ECUs.

    but isn't that sort of money just lunch change to you?

    I thought you were reasonably well off.

    A what now? What's wrong with the ends of a spanner across the
    terminals, eh?

    The solenoid is behind the fairing. Bit much every time I want to ride
    off.

    Other than the odd vehicular weakness I'm tight as a duck's arse. Grew
    up in Aberdeen after all.

    John Cellier is no oily mechanic!

    As I posted in the thread, I have found one place in London who can try
    and repair Ducati ECU's.

    it wasn't a troll. Hell, even I spend more than that on food & drink
    some weeks.
    whatever.

    I wouldn't mind spending it on food, drink, drugs, travel, et all.

    I do mind spending it on a fucking ECU the size of a match box that died
    after a silly mistake.
